The printer is fitted with a small hub to take paper or label rolls with the small core.

A larger sleeve is provided to clip over the small hub for use with large core paper and label rolls.

Check that the correct size of hub is fitted before loading the paper or label roll.

Check that the arrow on the spindle points towards the scale.

Figure 3.5 Changing the printer hub

Before you use your scale you should:

• check that the appropriate type of printer roll is loaded.

• adjust the label width guide if you load a printer roll of a different width.

Note: Printers using labels automatically adjust to accommodate labels of a different length.

CAUTION: Should labels become stuck in the printer, under no circumstances use a metal object to clear the blockage.

CAUTION: Do not use sharp or metal objects to remove accumulated debris.

CAUTION: The use of non-approved printer rolls may reduce the life of the print head and invalidate your warranty.

Approved labels and paper rolls are available from a number of suppliers, whose addresses can be obtained from your Avery Berkel centre.

• The message Products appears on the display to inform you that the printer roll is finished.

• If labels are jamming in the printer you will see the message Label Feed Error.

42 4.4 Setting the date and time

4.4 Setting the date and timeThe machine has an internal clock which stores the date and time. It uses the clock to calculate the sell-by dates printed on labels and to print the date and time on printouts and reports.


• The default format for the date is day/month/year

• The time is displayed to the right of the date in hours/minutes (24 hour).

• You can only change the digit which flashes.

• You can press or to move along the display.

• Press Enter when you have set all the digits you need to change.

4.5 Creating departments 43


4.5 Creating departments

A department is a group of machines within the store which reflects the way the store operates, for example produce, bakery, fresh meat, fish. Each department has its own set of PLUs. The departmental PLU file is a subset of the main product file.

PLU 4PLU 2PLU 1

Department 1Produce

PLU3 PLU 1PLU 2

Department 2Bakery

PLU 1 PLU 2

Department 3Fresh meat

Figure 4.8 Using departments

You can create up to 10 departments.

• Assign a reference number from 0 to 9 and enter a name for the department.

• Program the department reference number into the PLU (see Section 6.4 - Creating and Editing PLUs,).

Note: A department can be used as a barcode lock, see Section 10.1 - Introducing barcodes.

Allocating departmentsWhen you allocate a department to a machine, it becomes the default department for that machine.

When you enter the PLU number to select a product, the selected product will be the one assigned to the default department for the machine.

Press Enter instead of typing the machine ID if you do not wish to assign a specific

machine to the department.

Store nameThe store name can:

• be printed at the bottom of the receipt

• be printed at the bottom of the label provided that a suitable label format is selected.

• contain machine based messages by including the substitution code for machine message in the store name text.

Sales messageA sales message is a message that:

• can be assigned to a PLU

• will be printed on labels if the label format has an appropriate sales message field.

The position of the message depends on the label format selected for the machine.

• Each label format can have up to two sales message fields.

You can:

• create up to 20 sales messages.

• program each message with up to 200 characters.



• include substitution codes in the text message for printing sales information. For example:

%%+4.1%%or %%Dprints the current date

%%+4.3%%or %%Z1prints the time in the format 12:59

%%+4.4%%o %%Z2prints the time in the format 1259

%%+4.4%%or %%Z3prints the time in the format 125

%%+7.3#pp%% or%%Rpp prints the sales message numbered ‘pp’.

You could use this to insert text that you wish to appear in all PLU texts.

%%+3.1%% or %%V1prints the current operator number.

%%+3.2%% or %%V1prints the current operator name.

%%+7.1%% or %%M prints the sales message at machines associated with that message.

Date codeUse the date code to print the date as the number of days from the start of the current year (01 January). You can set an offset (999,999 max.) to add a chosen number of days to the calculation.

%%+4.1%% or %%DCprints the date 01/02/02 as 32.

%%+4.2#10%% or %%DC+10prints the date 01/02/02 as 42

%%+7.1%% or %%DCprints the date31/12/02 as 365

Cooking times and loyalty points• Insert the special codes for the cooking time or for loyalty points, in the sales text, up

to a maximum of 99 minutes or 99 points.

• Enter the cooking time or points for 1kg of the goods.

The total cooking time or loyalty points proportional to the weight of the goods being sold is printed.

Example: Total cooking time

Sign on/off textThese are messages that appear at the top (sign on) or at the bottom (sign off) of a customer receipt.

You can use these messages for whatever information you choose to enter. For example, it could be an advertising slogan or the company name and address.

If you include the substitution code for a sales message (%%+7.3#pp%% or %%Rpp) you can have different sign on or off messages at each machine.

Group namesThese are the names for the product categories to which an individual PLU may be assigned.

Machine specific messages If you include the substitution code for machine message (%%+7.1#pp%% or %%Mpp) in the sign on or sign off message, you can print different messages at each machine.

The printed text is determined by the sales message reference number assigned to the machine as the Machine message in Printer setup.



4.9 Programming OperatorsYou can program details for operators so that each operator can be uniquely identified and you can select the status of an operator to be either trading or training. You can only change the operator status if there are no outstanding transactions against the operator.

Figure 4.15 Setting up operators

Operator names• You can enter up to 20 operator names and you can assign dedicated keys to any

number of them.

• Each name may have up to 16 characters.

• Operator names are printed on receipts and the operator totals report.

• You can print the operator name or number on a label if you select a suitable label format and include the appropriate substitution code (see 17.3, Substitution codes, page 242) in the sales message text.

Operator PIN• The factory default setting for operator 1 PIN is 4296 and for operator 1 security level

is 2.

• All other operators will have factory default settings of PIN 0 and security level 0 unless you change them.


54 4.9 Programming Operators

• Each operator may be assigned a PIN between 0 and 99999999 which must be entered when logging on or off. If the PIN is left at 0, a PIN is not required when logging on or off.

If you make a mistake while entering the number press and start again.

Changing PINIf you have set up and assigned a dedicated PIN key, the operator can change his or her PIN in sales mode, see section 7.1, page 100.


Always ensure that at least one operator has a security level set high enough to be able to change PINs and operator security in Manager Mode. If you accidentally set all the security levels too low see section 16.1, page 230.

Operator security level• There are three security levels from 0 to 2.

• The security level determines operator access to scale functions.

• The operator will have access to those functions whose security level is the same as or less than their own security level.

Operator statusThe default operator mode is trading. You can change the operator mode from trading to training (or back again from training to trading) provided that there are no outstanding transactions against that operator.

• If there are any current transactions you will see the message Print Trans. displayed briefly and the machine will revert to the previous mode.

• If there are totals outstanding you will see the message Clear Trans. No.?. Press

, or press to return to the previous mode without clearing transactions

for the operator.

TradingAll transactions carried out by the operator are added to the trading totals stored by the machine

TrainingThe operator's transactions are added to the operator totals and the training value is listed in the operator totals report.

Operator training textEach time an operator is changed from trading to training you have the opportunity to change the training text or remove it.



• The training text is printed on receipts for transactions carried out while the operator is in training mode.

• The same training text is used for any operator in training mode.


56 4.10 Setting function security

4.10 Setting function security

Security levels• There are three security levels from 0 to 2.

• The security level determines operator access to scale functions.

• The operator will only have access to those functions whose security level is the same as or less than their own security level.


If you see the message Call Supervisor your security level is not high enough.

Security level 0 means that any operator can access that function.

The following functions have factory default security levels set as follows:

Sales functionsVoid 1

UP/PLU 0

Positive non weighed 0

Negative non weighed 0

Receipt/label selection 0

Dual capacity 0

Override 1

Price base 0

Returns 1

Refunds 1

No Sale 0

Float 0

Pick Up 0

Paid Out 0

Manager functionsYou can assign a security level to most of the manager functions or you can change the level set, provided that your own security level is the same or higher than the function security.


Always ensure that you have at least one operator with a security level high enough to change Operator PIN and security level settings.

4.10 Setting function security 57


It is possible to inadvertently set all users security levels so that security levels can no longer be modified and no user has access to any sales or manager functions.

5.3 Printer set-upThis group of functions enable you to customise the way in which your machine generates and prints labels, receipts and talons.

Label setupThese options allow you to choose:

• how you want labels to look and

• the way in which you want labels to be generated and printed.

Label typeYou can select either separate or continuous labels.

Continuous paperContinuous labels can be printed on a tally roll or on a continuous label roll. If you use varying lengths or formats for labels, printing on a continuous label roll uses the printer roll more economically.

SeparateLabels are printed on label rolls with separate labels. These labels must be the appropriate size to accommodate the label format assigned to the PLU or to the machine.

Selecting label formatThe label format can be open or closed.

There are 12 standard label formats and four nutritional label formats available. Any of the formats can be set to suit your requirements.

• Open label format.

Labels are printed according to the format stored in the PLU record.

• Closed label format.

Labels are printed using the label format you have assigned to the machine.

If you machine is operating in Hand Price mode the label format assigned to the machine will be used.

Tare interlockIf the tare interlock is enabled, you will only be able to print a label if you have selected a tare.

Suppressing symbolsIf symbols are enabled then symbols, for example, £, kg, £/ are printed on labels. If you want to use pre-printed labels you can choose to disable symbols.


68 5.3 Printer set-up

Selecting print modesYou can select one of three ways to print labels.

• Print on request.

• Print immediate.

• Pre-pack.

Print on request

Press your operator key or to obtain the label.

Print immediateThe machine issues a label as soon as the weight on the machine becomes steady. It does not retain the PLU or tare.

You cannot use .

Pre-packThe machine retains the PLU and tare (if set up) and issues a label each time the weight becomes steady.

Default operatorWhen selecting the print mode you will be asked to enter an operator number. This

number will be assigned to the key.

Print on requestWeighed and non-weighed transactions will be assigned to the default operator number.

Print immediateWeighed transactions will be assigned to the default operator number.

Pre-packAll labels will be assigned to the default operator number.

TalonA talon is a log of each receipt printed at a machine and is printed after the receipt. It shows the operator number, the number of transactions and the total value of the last receipt.

Duplicate receiptUse this function to set up the printer to print a duplicate receipt. DUPLICATE is printed at the start and end of the duplicate receipt.



Single itemEnable this function if you want to print a receipt after each transaction.

Note: Talon, Duplicate Receipt and Single Item can be enabled and disabled in a similar manner (see the example for enabling symbols).

Figure 5.4 Enabling single item printing

Alternate currency printUse this function to set up the printer to print alternate currency price information automatically on receipts and labels and to display alternate currency prices on request. You can print or suppress the warning message on the receipt.

On labels you can select to print either totals only or totals and unit price in the alternate currency.

Receipt printingProvided your machine has been configured to print the alternate currency symbols, you can set up and assign a key, see page 65, to print a duplicate receipt using the alternate currency.

Machine message You can assign a message reference to a machine. The substitution code %%M can be programmed into a PLU text field, sales message or store name. The code is replaced by the assigned message which is printed in the appropriate text field on the label.


70 5.3 Printer set-up

Speed/densityYou can enter a print speed between 50mm/s and 80mm/s. A slower print speed may improve print quality on low specification paper. Low print speed may also help if you have peel off problems with some types of label.

You can set the print density between 0% and 100%. The default setting is 100% but you may want to decrease the density when using a slow print speed.

5.4 Assigning a barcode format 71


5.4 Assigning a barcode formatIn order for barcodes to be printed you must assign a format to the machine.

On label machines the format assigned to the machine is used unless the PLU has a programmed barcode. Enter a barcode reference number from 0 to 9.

On receipt machines you may enable or disable barcode printing for receipts and for talons.


For more information on creating and selecting barcode formats, see Barcodes, page 147.

PLU textYou can program one display text area and up to two printable text areas. You can enter up to 16 characters in the display text and each PLU print text area can have a maximum of 1500 characters.

• PLU text 1 is the default text for printing on receipts and labels including ingredients.

• PLU text 2 is printed on labels provided that the label format contains the appropriate text field.

PLU display text (16 characters)If no display text has been previously programmed you will see the message Enter Text. If text has been programmed before it will be displayed and you can remove it or change it.

PLU text 1 (1500 characters)If no text has been previously programmed in PLU text 1 and the PLU display text area has been left blank, you will see the message PLU Text 1. The message clears automatically when you enter text.

• If no text has been previously programmed in PLU text 1, any text programmed in the display text area is copied to PLU text 1. You can remove or edit this text to suit your requirements.

PLU text 2 (1500 characters)If no text has been previously programmed you will see the message PLU Text 2. The message clears automatically when you enter text.

• If Traceability has ben enabled in the PLU and the machine is in pre-pack mode, then the carcass text will be printed in the text 3 field.

Note: For substitution codes that you can use in PLU text messages 1 and 2 refer to section 4.8, Sales message on page 50.

Tax referenceEach PLU can have a tax reference assigned to it.



• There are ten tax references available (0 - 9) and each one can be assigned a different tax rate.

• Use tax reference 0 for products which are non taxable.

For further information on tax rates see section 4.3, Setting up data tables,page 35.

Product groupsA product group is a category such as fish, fresh meat or vegetables to which an individual PLU may be assigned.

• You can create up to 10 groups

• Each group name can contain up to 20 characters.

• The group name is printed on PLU and group reports.

Trading modeYou can select the way in which the product is sold

By WeightUsed for goods that are to be weighed and that have a unit price programmed.

By CountUsed for non weighed items requiring an item price.

By Count NegUsed for negative PLUs in receipt mode that require a negative item price to enable an operator to reimburse a customer for a non weighed item.

Fixed weightUsed for products with fixed net weight requiring an item price.

Fixed Price Normally sold as non weighed (By count).

If the machine is:

• operating in prepack mode

• and

• back calculation By Product Type has been enabled in Service Mode

the product is treated as a weighed product. This is equivalent to Danish Back Calculation.

Price multipleFor non-weighed PLUs you can program a default quantity for the product at a set price.

Example: Four chocolate chip muffins for £1.40.

• Set the item price to £1.40 and the price multiple to 4.

To charge a premium when selling individual items (split pack price).

1. Set the item price to the higher value for that number of items.



2. Select price promotion

3. Set the second price to the default pack price and the trip value to the default quantity.

Example: Four chocolate chip muffins for £1.40. Individual price £0.40.

• Set the item price to £1.60 and the price multiple to 4.

• Select price promotion and set the second price to £1.40 and the trip value to 4.

If a smaller quantity than the default number is purchased, the items will be charged at the higher price.

If a quantity greater than the default number is purchased, all the items will be charged at the promotional price.

PromotionsYou can choose from four types of promotion when programming a PLU.

• price promotion

• frequent shopper promotion

• weight or items free promotion

• discount promotion

For details see section 6.7, page 90.

Sell by datesIf you enter a sell by or use by date when programming a PLU the machine prints the date on the label either:

• as a use by or sell by date computed from the number of days from the current date

or

• as a use by or sell by date computed from the number of months from the current date

Date 1 Date 2

Figure 6.3 Sell by dates



Net weightsNet weight is a description printed on a label to identify the weight of a non-weighed product sold on a normal or average weight basis. For example, 400g for all loaves of a certain size.

Proportional taresProportional tares are used when weighing ready wrapped goods such as confectionery. Provided that the proportional weight value for the wrappings is known, the percentage tare value can be entered when programming the PLU.

Barcode printing

LabelsBarcodes will only be printed if you assign a barcode format to the machine see section 6.4, page 81, or enable the barcode in a PLU.

Receipts and talonsBarcodes will only be printed if you enable them on the machine.

Figure 6.6 Promotion programming

Price promotionYou can program a PLU with a second unit or item price and different weighed quantities or number of items that enable the second price,

• The promotional price is enabled when the pre-programmed weight or quantity is purchased.

• You can change the unit or item price and the promotional prices using Change Price.


If you program the weighed quantity as 0.00, or the number of items as 0, the promotion will always be enabled

• Sales receipts and labels can be printed with details of the savings to the customer.

• To print promotional information on the label you must select an appropriate label format when programming the PLU.


92 6.7 Promotions

Frequent shopper promotionIf you program a PLU with a frequent shopper promotion, you can have two prices printed on the label, the normal selling price and a special price.

• If the customer is in the frequent shopper scheme, the PoS terminal will use the special price when the goods are totalized at the checkout.

• If the customer is not in the frequent shopper scheme the normal selling price is used.

• A frequent shopper price is not dependant on the weight or quantity purchased.

There are three types of Frequent Shopper promotion available.

• Price

You can program a second price for the PLU which applies if the customer is part of the frequent shopper program.

• % Discount

This type of promotion calculates the discount as a percentage of the original unit price or of the total price for the PLU.

You must enter the percentage discount as a whole number. For example:

A price reduction of 3% must be entered as 3.00.

• Reduction

The unit or total price of the PLU is reduced by the value programmed.

You must enter the percentage discount as a whole number. For example, a price reduction of 5% must be entered as 5.00.


96 6.7 Promotions

Promo messagesYou can assign a promotional (sales) message to any promotion. If you select Conditional the sales message is printed only when the promotion is active. If you select Unconditional, the default setting, the sales message is always printed.

If you assign a promo sales message to a frequent shopper promotion it is always printed.

The message text can contain codes, as listed below, or Dewey Decimal codes to print information about the transaction. The codes are:

%%S prints the value saved

%%N prints the price to pay with promotion

%%G prints the price to pay without promotion

%%F prints the weight or items given free

Note: For other substitution codes that you can use in a promotional message refer to section 4.8, page 50, Sales message and for Dewey Decimal codes see Appendix, section 17.3.

6.8 Creating a nutritional panel 97


6.8 Creating a nutritional panelYou can enter the information required to create a nutritional label at the end of the Create & Edit function.

The nutritional label shows the weight and percentage per serving of the nutrient content of a product relative to the recommended daily intake. You can print nutrition facts on a separate label either before or after the PLU label.

The format of this label is factory set and cannot be altered. Label rotation can be 0° or 180° and you can select either long label format or short label format, as shown in Figure 6.10, according to the label format number programmed in the PLU.

Use label formats numbered 12 to 15 for these fixed format nutritional labels.

Short formatLong format

Figure 6.10 Fixed nutri panel label

If you are using label rolls then the nutritional and PLU labels must be the same size. If you are using continuous labels then the size of both labels can differ.


98 6.8 Creating a nutritional panel

Serving per containerThe number of servings per container is calculated automatically from the serving size programmed in the PLU and the weight of the product in the container:

total weight in container serving size in grams

When programming the PLU the serving size in grams must be included in the 20 character text for serving size and the value %%C as the text for servings per container.

The scale looks for a numerical value followed by a g or G in the serving size text and uses that weight to calculate the number of servings.


Serving Customers

This section tells you how to use the operations you may need when actually serving customers.


Take care when placing large, heavy produce such as water melons on the weigh plate so that they do not roll off the machine.

104 7.3 Using PLUs

7.3 Using PLUsMany of the goods and items you sell will have a unique PLU (Product Look Up) number associated with them. The most frequently used PLUs may have their own commodity key.

A commodity key is a programmable key which has been assigned to a specific PLU. They are generally reserved for the most frequently used PLUs.

A department key is a programmable key allowing you to select PLUs assigned to departments other than the one allocated to your machine.

The PLU search key is a programmable key allowing you to enter the first few characters of the PLU description or the PLU number. A list is displayed on the right hand side of the screen.

If a department has been assigned to the machine you will see the eight PLUs in the selected department that most closely match the entry.

Use and to move up and down the list and view any further PLUs in the list.

To view PLUs in other departments you must first select the department.

Selecting a PLUThe way you select a PLU will depend on your machine configuration. If the PLU is one assigned to the default department for the machine you can:

• type in the PLU number and press

• type in the PLU number or press a commodity key and wait for the machine to automatically display the PLU information.

• This is the method described in this handbook and is known as timeout selection.

• enter the barcode number

Barcode scanIf your machine has a scanner

• scan the barcode

If a frequent shopper promotion is in operation and a suitable label format is available, the label shows the normal selling price and a special price.

Pressing disables the promotion.



7.4 Barcode scanningBarcode scanning is normally used with receipt printing operations.

Use the barcode scanner at the machine to read barcodes:

• on products

• on labels.

• on counter receipts

When the scanner successfully reads the barcode it bleeps.

Scanning barcodes means that

• you do not have to enter product numbers to recall PLUs.

• at a Point of Sale (PoS) machine or checkout, you can scan customer numbers from subtotal counter receipts to add them to the sales total receipt.

Re-opening receiptsYou can add or void individual items on a receipt, or void a complete receipt.

Note: This function is restricted to authorized personnel only.


If an operator has outstanding transactions, the message ‘Print Receipt’ is displayed and this function is not available.

If there are no transactions outstanding against an operator:

1. press the ‘reopen receipt’ key

2. enter the receipt number at the bottom of the receipt when prompted.

If the receipt number exists, the receipt is voided from all management totals

Note: Only the number after the network ID is required. For example if 35#123456 is printed at the bottom of the receipt, then only 123456 should be entered.

3. The receipt stored in the audit buffer is modified to show it has been voided and the operator number is changed to the operator performing the void.

4. The receipt is reopened and assigned to the operator. Individual transactions can be added or voided, or the whole receipt can be voided if required. When the receipt is reprinted it will be totalized as a standard receipt.

Note: Voided receipts are returned to the software during transaction collection to provide information regarding the number of receipts voided and which operators performed the task.

The machine displays fixed barcode formats as a series of numbers and letters. Each number and letter represents a digit in the barcode. By re-arranging these groups of digits you can re-define how information is printed on the barcode. No default values are pre-programmed for variable format barcodes.

You can select one of the barcode types for labels, receipts and talons or you can switch off the barcode (see 5.4, Assigning a barcode format, page 71 ).

You can create and store up to 15 barcode formats.

Barcode typesThe barcode types available are:

• EAN 13 Fixed format

• EAN13 Scandinavian Fixed format

• EAN8 Fixed format

• UPC12 Fixed format

• UPC13 Fixed format

• EAN128 Variable format

• RSS Expanded Variable format

• RSS14 Fixed format

• RSS Limited Fixed format

Fixed format barcodesThere are several types of fixed format barcode which are accepted internationally for use in the retail trade. The type of barcode used depends on the standard adopted by a particular country.

Example:The USA uses UPC barcodes

Example:Europe uses EAN barcodes.

Default formatEach type of barcode has been programmed into the machine as a standard format for the barcode digits (see section 10.6, page 161). This is known as the default format.

The barcode formats can be re-defined to enable a source marked barcode or dry article barcode to be printed.

Variable format barcodesYou can enter data freely to specify the information you require to be embedded in the barcode provided it satisfies the requirements for the barcode type you are using. For example, it may need to be capable of encoding using AIs.

10.1 Introducing barcodes 149

IM series User Instructions Barcodes

Printing barcodesPlease remember .....

Label machines

Barcodes will only be printed if you assign a default barcode format to the machine or enable the barcode in a PLU (see section 5.4, page 71 and Barcode printing, page 87).


Receipt machines

Barcodes will only be printed on receipts or talons if you enable them in the machine.

If the barcode format includes the department number or group number, you may not mix goods or items from different departments or groups on the same receipt.

Printing multiple barcodes• You can print multiple barcodes on the same label if necessary.

• The barcodes can be defined in the PLU or referenced to a label format.

• Programming the barcode in the PLU is the preferred method for PoS barcodes.


Create the barcodes before you create PLUs.


150 10.2 Branded goods

10.2 Branded goods

Dry article barcodesThis type of barcode contains only the product number.

Dry article barcodes are the most common barcode used on branded goods. For example, a jar of coffee might have a manufacturers product number 5021991245497.

Creating the product (PLU) file:

Create a dry article barcode in EAN8 and EAN13 formats

AAAAAAAC

AAAAAAAAAAAAC.


Do this before you create the PLU. See section 10.5, page 159.

Then:

1. Create a nonwhite PLU. See section 6.4, page 81.

2. Program the item price.

3. Enter any other product information you want to include in the product file.

4. Select barcode enabled.

5. Enter the barcode format reference.

6. Enter or scan the manufacturer's barcode number when you see the barcode format displayed.

Note: You can only enter the product number in the designated article number positions (A) in the barcode format.


You can only assign a dry article barcode to a non weighed PLU. It is illegal to use this type of barcode for a weighed PLU.

When the goods are scanned in sales mode the receipt shows the description and the price programmed in the PLU.

Price embedded barcodeSome goods may come from the manufacturer already weighed and priced, for example frozen chickens and pre-packed fruit and vegetables. In this case the manufacturers barcode will include the product number and the selling price.

10.2 Branded goods 151


Creating the product (PLU) file:Create the barcode format registered with your national coding authority for use with branded, pre-priced goods.

For example, the UK currently uses the format 20AAAAAVPPPPC.


Do this before you create the PLU. See section 10.5, Creating a barcode reference, page 159.

Then:

1. Scan the product barcode when you see Enter PLU


OR

1. Create a nonweighed PLU. See section 6.4, page 81.

2. Program the item price as 0.00.



5. Enter the barcode format reference for branded, pre-priced goods.

6. Enter or scan the manufacturer's barcode number when you see the barcode format displayed.

When the goods are scanned in sales mode the receipt shows the description programmed in the PLU and the price embedded in the manufacturer's barcode.

10.3 In-store goodsYou can attach labels with barcodes to goods packed in-store prior to sale. If you include the barcode on the label the operator can scan the goods at the PoS or checkout machine.

Dry article barcodesUse this type of barcode for goods with a non variable weight and a fixed price.

A barcode showing just the product number is attached to the goods and the price is displayed on the shelf edge.

A typical use would be for products from the bakery department


In order to avoid pricing discrepancies the in-store dry article label should not show a price. If you are in any doubt use a price embedded barcode instead.

Creating the product (PLU) file:Create the dry article in either EAN8 or EAN13 format:

2AAAAAAC or 02AAAAAAAAAAC


Do this before you create the PLU. See section 10.5, Creating a barcode reference, page 159.

Then:

1. Create a nonweighed PLU.

2. Enter a label format that supports barcodes.

3. Program the item price.




7. Enter the product number.

Note: You can only enter the product number in the designated article number positions (A) in the barcode


You can only assign a dry article barcode to a nonweighed PLU. It is illegal to use this type of barcode for a weighed PLU.


154 10.3 In-store goods

8. Print the barcode labels and attach to the goods.

When the goods are scanned in sales mode the receipt shows the description and the price programmed in the PLU.

Figure 10.2 In-store label and printed receipt

Price embedded barcodeUse this type of barcode on labels for products such as fresh meat or fish that are priced or weighed and priced in the store pre-pack area.

To create the product (PLU) file:Create a suitable barcode format for use with in-store, pre-priced goods. The recommended format is:

02AAAAVPPPPPC.


Do this before you create the PLU. Refer to section 10.5, Creating a barcode reference, page 159.

1. Create a weighed or non weighed PLU.

2. Enter a label format that supports barcodes.

3. Program the unit or item price.






7. Enter the product number.

Note: You can only enter the product number in the designated article number positions (A) in the barcode

8. Print the barcode labels and attach to the goods.

When you scan the price embedded barcode in sales mode, weighed goods are treated as a non weighed item. The receipt shows the description programmed in the PLU and the price embedded in the in-store barcode.

Label exampleIn-store barcode format matches the recommended EAN format.

Chicken portions appear as weighed goods on the barcode label and as a nonweighed item on the sales receipt to ensure correct totalisation.

Note: If there is a promotion active for that PLU it will be cancelled.

Figure 10.3 Label and nonweighed receipt


156 10.4 Barcode scanning

10.4 Barcode scanningYou can use the Avery Berkel scanner to:

• read in-store or branded barcodes at a PoS machine when your machine is in sales mode.

• help you program PLUs when your machine is in manager mode (see section 6.4, page 81).


You can only use the scanner if an appropriate barcode is displayed on the goods.

Branded goodsBranded goods have the barcode printed on the packaging by the manufacturer. The barcode is registered with the EAN authority and is known as a source marked barcode.

In-store goodsIf you wish to scan in-store goods you must print a suitable barcode and attach it to the product being sold.

Note: RSS Limited barcodes are not suitable for use with some types of scanner.

Reading a barcodeWhen the barcode is scanned, the machine searches the barcode list for a prefix that matches the one in the scanned barcode. If it fails to find a matching barcode it treats the barcode as a dry article barcode.

The barcode format can either be the one assigned to the machine or the barcode format programmed in the PLU. The machine will use a PLU barcode if programmed rather than the one assigned to the machine.


The scanner will use the first barcode type it encounters with a prefix matching the one on the goods. It is important that you do not program different barcode types with the same prefix.

Assigning a barcode• Assign any barcode reference to the machine and program the required label barcode

in the PLU.

Programming the barcode in the PLU is the preferred method as it is the safest

or

• Assign the required barcode reference to the machine and program the PLU barcode reference to 0.




• Check that the machine selects the correct PLU when you scan a source marked (branded) barcode.

• Check that the machine prints the correct barcode when you create an in-store barcode.

• Assign a barcode reference to the machine to enable barcode printing.

Figure 10.4 Typical barcode printing

Defining the barcode format

Barcodes are printed as a series of bars and digits on receipts and labels. Barcode digits are arranged in groups or fields known as the barcode format. Each group of digits conveys specific information, as shown in the examples in Figure 10.4.

• You can re-define the barcode formats to enable a source marked barcode or dry article barcode to be printed.

• You can define and store up to 15 barcode formats.


158 10.4 Barcode scanning

Incorrectly defined formatsIf you define the barcode incorrectly you will briefly see the message Invalid Entry followed by the barcode format. The wrongly entered character flashes enabling you to correct it. If more than one character is incorrect the first incorrect one flashes. When all the characters are corrected the first character of the barcode will flash.

Correcting the format

Barcodes will only be printed on receipts or talons if you enable them in the machine.

10.5 Creating a barcode reference 159


10.5 Creating a barcode referenceYou can create up to nine barcode references for labels, one for receipts and one for talons. You can select one barcode type for each reference. The machine displays barcode default formats as a series of numbers and letters. Each number and letter represents a digit in the barcode. You may re-arrange these groups of digits to re-define how information is printed on the barcode. For details of the barcode digits you can enter see page 162 to page 164.

RSS ExpandedYou can enter up to 74 numeric or 41 alpha-numeric characters. All the data must be capable of encoding using AIs.

Note: If the label field is not wide enough to accommodate all the characters, provided that there is room to increase the height sufficiently, the barcode will print as a ‘stacked’ barcode.


Product Traceability

This section describes how to set up and use the product traceability scheme to provide an audit trail for a product back through the stages in its production to its original source. You can record traceability for up to 9 cutting centres and 5 fattening countries. It can be used for:

• beef products

• other types of meat products such as pork

• non meat products such as fish or cheese.

These instructions describe how to set up and use the scheme for tracking bovine carcasses.

To use the scheme for other types of product, change the data names and programming texts to suit the product.

Product Traceability IM series User Instructions

168 11.1 Mandatory information

11.1 Mandatory informationTraceability enables you to label products with information about the animal or group of animals (batch) from which the product was derived.

In some markets certain traceability information is mandatory.

Example:The following lists the information which is mandatory when labelling beef products in EU countries.

• lot number (more than one animal) or carcass number.

• slaughter house reference and country.

• cutting/de-boning centre reference and country.

• country of birth.

• country of rearing.

In addition, approved voluntary information may be included on labels and receipts.


If the product is

• pre-packed (packed when the customer is not present), the traceability information must be printed on the product label or receipt.

• packed or prepared in the presence of the customer, there must be a clear link between the product being served and the displayed carcass details.

The best way to ensure this is by individually labelling each pack, or by printing the full details on the counter or ECR receipt. If this is not possible you can use Tray labelling, see page 189.

11.2 Using traceability 169

IM series User Instructions Product Traceability

11.2 Using traceabilityTraceability details are printed on labels for all products associated with a carcass/batch.

Traceability format:• defines the way in which the information is printed on the labels according to the text

and data type programmed into the traceability format.

Traceability barcode format:• defines the actual data and messages printed

• may also contain additional information provided by the supplier.

Traceability tables:• are a database of countries, categories etc held by the machine.

• provide additional traceability information in relation to specific carcass/lot numbers.

• for non preset PLUs, this database is referenced for each specific carcass/lot number and the details printed on the label or receipt.

You can:

• print carcass/batch data on labels or receipts for all products associated with a particular carcass/batch.

• print counter service tray labels providing full traceability information for the customer.

• create duplicate passports, including a copy of the original barcode.

Non-preset modeThe full traceability or batch details are scanned or entered from the sales keyboard each time the operator selects a different batch at the machine.

This is particularly suitable for prepack operations where the operator may be packing a complete batch in one session and then selecting a new complete batch to pack.


170 11.3 Traceability schemes

11.3 Traceability schemesYou can set up a different scheme for each type of product that requires traceability.

For each scheme you can select the way in which it operates. You can choose from:

• GTIN operation)

Select GTIN Operation Y if you require traceability records to be uniquely identified by a lot number and GTIN.

GTIN codes contain data uniquely identifying the supplier and product type.

• Label or receipt printing

You must select Label & Receipt for traceability information to be printed on sales receipts.

• PrePack operation

You must select PrePack&Counter for traceability information to be printed on both counter receipts and labels. If you select Prepack Only the information will only be printed on labels.

• Weight limits

Select No Weight Limit if you do not want to use weight limits during trading.

Batch Weight uses the weight of the whole batch (usually encoded in the supplier barcode).

Pack Weight allows you to set weight limits for individual cases or packs.

If the barcode includes AI 303 the batch weight is incremented each time a pack is scanned. When the weight sold equals the weight limit for the batch you will see a warning message and you will not be able to print further labels.

• % Wastage

If you select Batch Weight or Pack Weight limits you will be prompted for a % Wastage value. This is a programmable value that allows for wastage in the batch due to bone etc.

• Date limits

Select No Date Limit if you do not want to use date limits during trading. You will not be prompted to enter dates when creating records.

The default option Use Scheme Life, computes the expiry date from the slaughter date plus the scheme life. You can manually override the date if required.

Use Expiry Date uses the sell by date encoded (AI 17) in the supplier barcode. You can manually override this date if required.

Scheme referenceThis is a reference number from 1 to 10 that is used to link the batch being processed to the correct scheme.

11.3 Traceability schemes 171


For schemes operating in preset mode, when the PLU is selected, the associated lot number will link the PLU to the correct scheme.

Scheme nameYou can program a scheme name, up to a maximum of 20 alpha/numeric characters, for easier identification of a scheme.

LifeYou can set the number of days that limits the duration of a scheme. This is usually referred to as the scheme life and the default value in the machine is 30 days.

Linking a scheme to a PLUWhen creating or editing a PLU, you will be asked to enter the scheme reference number for the PLU provided that:

• traceability is enabled and

• more than one traceability scheme exists.


172 11.4 Printing the information

11.4 Printing the informationTraceability information is normally printed in text field 3. You can print any of the data in other text fields provided you embed the appropriate %% codes or Dewey Decimal codes (see Appendix, page 242).

In preset mode, you can print the traceability information as:

• a single block of text

• as individual lines of text which can be printed in different areas on the label.

To enable traceability text line printing you must:

• embed the appropriate Dewey code in the sales message to select text printed as a block or as individual lines (see Appendix, page 243).

• separate the lines of text in the traceability text panel using line feed and centralise line feed characters.

For information on creating and editing text see Part 1 Chapter 4.2.

You must select a suitable label format or the data will not be printed.

When programming PLUs you must select Traceability On to be able to use traceability for that product.

Listed below are the operations you need to perform to enable traceability information to be printed on labels.

• Enable receipt or counter service printing if required

• Define the barcode format for non-standard AI reference codes

• Program the tables with the data names and associated text as you want them to appear on the traceability panel.

• Create the traceability format which defines the way in which the information will be printed on the label.

• Set up the traceability schemes required.



11.5 Traceability code dataThe machine contains tables relating the traceability code embedded in the traceability panel format to

• the Application Identifier (AI)

• the data name

• Dewey Decimal codes.

The machine is pre-programmed with industry standard codes for both data names and AIs. You can change these codes if necessary.

For full details of the codes see Appendix, page 242.

Data nameData names are the text descriptions associated with the traceability codes. The machine is pre-programmed with industry standard codes. You can change these if necessary to suit the products for which you are using the system.

176 11.6 Programming traceability tables

11.6 Programming traceability tablesIf you are using nonpreset schemes or scanning supplier proprietary barcodes, you need to set up tables for:

• countries of origin

• slaughter centre references

• cutting centre references.

Creating messagesWhen creating messages ensure that the messages programmed in your machine match the messages used by your suppliers.

All your suppliers must use the same messages.

You can create seven different lists of messages.

List Records CharactersOrigin 300 40Slaughter reference 100 40Cutting reference 100 40Category 100 40Breed 100 40Type 100 40Species 100 40

Origin, slaughter reference and cutting reference information is mandatory. Category, breed, type and species is additional information which may be included.

Origin messagesAn origin message may be a country, a supplier or EC member states. You can print up to four origin messages on the label, for example: country of birth, supplied by. The default origin list contains internationally agreed country references (ISO 3166) but you can change these if necessary. To revert to the default value just delete the current entry

in the table (see Part 1, section 4.2, Creating and editing text, page 32) and press Enter .

Slaughter referenceThis table stores reference information about where the animal was slaughtered. It contains the name of the country and the approval number for the slaughterhouse.

Cutting referenceThis table stores reference information about where the carcass was cut up and de-boned. It contains the name of the country and the approval number for the cutting centre.

11.6 Programming traceability tables 177


Category messagesThe following category messages must be used for beef:

Messages NotesBull

Young bovine (steer) Less than 6 years oldOx (beef cattle)

Heifer Less than 6 years oldCow

178 11.7 Defining the barcodes

11.7 Defining the barcodes

There are two types of barcode used with bovine traceability.

• EAN128 standard. These barcodes include the mandatory information and use Application Identifiers (AIs) to determine how the data is interpreted.

This type of barcode cannot be edited.

• EAN128 non-standard barcodes. These barcodes use Application Identifiers (AIs) but include voluntary information in addition to the mandatory information (custom barcode).

This type of barcode can be edited to match those of your supplier.

Each type of barcode has been programmed into the machine as a standard format for the barcode digits. This is known as the default format. You can edit these formats to match the barcode formats received from your suppliers.

Custom barcodesUse this barcode format to interpret data from non standard AI barcodes received from the supplier. The system uses the AI (950) to identify that the barcode contains voluntary data and AI (953) the licence number to print this data.

The default barcode format for AI 950 is:

LWYTTUUVV

Example:

(10)234567(7030)250789(7031)250654 (950)141010100(953)321

(10)

6 digit carcass/lot number= 234567

(7030)

3 digit slaughter country reference= 250 = France

3 digit slaughter number= 789

(7031)

3 digit cutting country reference= 250 = France

3 digit cutting number= 654

(950)

1 digit species= 1 = bovine

1 digit category= 4 = heifer

1 digit type= 1 = meat

2 digit breed of father= 01 = Charolais

2 digit breed of mother= 01 = Charolais



2 digit breed if mixed= 00 = N/A

(253)

3 digit scheme licence number= 321

Traceability barcodesUsed for fixed, non AI barcodes received from suppliers.

A traceability barcode format defines the information conveyed by the printed bars in the barcode in a similar way to a label or receipt barcode. Traceability barcodes are based on digits, for example 00000006666661122335544.

The default barcode format is:

00000044551122 14digits

6 digit carcass/lot number + 2digit slaughter reference + 2 digit cutting reference + 2 digit origin message 1 + 2digit origin message 2 = 14 digits

Example:

1234560101050114 digits

6 digit carcass/lot number= 123456

2 digit slaughter reference= 01 = UK (1143)

2 digit cutting reference= 01 = UK (19985)

2 digit origin message 1= 05 = Scotland

2 digit origin message 2= 01 = UK

Example:The maximum number of barcode digits you can specify in the barcode format is 40.

The barcode digit in the first column of the table is also entered in the traceability format, see page 182, so the machine knows how to print bovine details on the label.

11.8 Setting up the machine

Creating the traceability panel formatThe traceability panel format defines:

• the text to be printed on the label.

• the type of data to be printed on the label.

Type the text to be printed on the label. Refer to the table in Figure 11.7 and enter the required code to define the type of data to be printed with the text on the label.

The maximum number of characters that you can have in the traceability panel format is 2000 (including spaces).

For information on creating and editing text see Part 1 4.2, Creating and editing text, page 32.

Default traceability formatThis is already set up in the machine and allows for both fixed barcodes and EAN standard barcodes.

11.9 Capturing the source data

Supplier’s label

The supplier attaches a barcoded label (traceability passport) to the carcass containing the information required.

Programming the machine with the same messages and data used by the supplier means that you can print the data defined in the traceability barcode on all labels for associated PLUs.

There are various ways in which the traceability data can be input to the machine.

• Use the Avery Berkel scanner to read the proprietary barcodes printed on the carcass labels by the supplier.

• Use the keyboard to enter the references for each data item when a product is selected.

• Use the Avery Berkel scanner to read the EAN128, PDF417 and RSS barcodes containing all the required bovine data.

Note: When variable format barcodes are used it is possible that more than one barcode will be required to contain all the data. The system has been designed to cope with this.

Hash keyIf a hash key has been assigned to the keyboard, you can enter the barcode digits manually:

1. Press #

2. Type in the barcode digits

3. Press

Use this method if you do not have a scanner or the scanner fails to read the barcode,


186 11.10 Pre-pack operation

11.10 Pre-pack operationThe supplier attaches a barcode to the carcass which is scanned when the carcass is cut and pre-packed in store.

Lot Number:1 000435Slaughtered In: UK (1143)Cutting In: UK (19985)Born In: IrelandReared In: Ireland

Text area 3

If your scanner is not working you can press # and then enter the barcode numbers

directly.

When you select the PLU, the last carcass/lot number used is displayed. You can enter a new carcass or lot number if required.

Note: If lot number is enabled in the PLU and the panel text associated with the number contains text markers, the designated text is displayed instead of the lot number.

Category, origin and breed options, and dates are displayed in the order in which they are set in the print format. Carcass/Lot number is always displayed first.

If you see the message Not Found for any of the options enter the reference number for the origin message to be printed.

11.11 Counter service operation 189


11.11 Counter service operationIn counter service you can scan the barcoded information from the tray label for the product, or you can type in the lot number at the keyboard and the machine will print it on the label or receipt.

Tray labellingWhere the product is packed in the presence of the customer, it is not necessary to print all the carcass/batch details on each label or receipt, provided that the information is clearly displayed and obviously intended for that product.

The system enables you to assign a panel key to print `tray labels' for use in this mode of operation. You can use this key to print a counter service tray label for each tray of product on sale.

Tray labelling can be used in non-preset and preset modes.

Setting up the key1. Create a PLU called `Tray Label'.

2. Select a label format for the PLU that has the relevant text fields included.

Tray labels usually have larger print than pack labels and the field needs to be large enough to allow all the information to be printed.

3. Enter the text required and the appropriate %% or Dewey Decimal codes in one of the PLU text fields.

4. Step through the remaining options except unit or item price without entering any data.

5. Select Traceability On.

6. Assign the key to the sales keyboard.

Note: You will need to program the PLU with a nominal unit or item price, but check that the label format selected has no fields for printing weight or price information.

192 12.2 Configuring reports

12.2 Configuring reportsReports can be printed on receipt rolls or labels. When printing to labels, the label gaps are skipped so that no data is lost.

Report setup

In report setup you configure the way in which you want the reports printed. The choices you make will apply to all the machines on the system. You can select:

• PLU Totals Yes or PLU Totals No

• Amount Entry OFFor Amount Entry ONor Amount Auto

• Short Cash Rpr or Full Cash Rprt

PLU totalsIf you do not require PLU totals from the scale, disabling them makes more memory available for PLU storage at the scale.

Amount entryIf you select:

Amount Entry ON, you must enter the value of each type of payment in the cash drawer before printing a Z machine totals report. You will only be prompted to enter values for payment types that have been enabled in the payment programming table (see section 4.3 page 35). You may enter zero values. Any discrepancies between the expected values and the values entered will be printed.

Amount Entry OFF, you will not be prompted to enter drawer values and discrepancies will not be printed in the report.

Amount Auto, you will only be prompted to enter values for payment types actually taken.

When requesting the amounts in the drawer, If enforce value has been enabled for a payment type, you must enter a value or zero. If enforce value is disabled you may press

to skip the entry.

If you have selected Amount Entry ON or Amount Auto, when printing Z Grand Total reports, all the amounts entered are accumulated into a single declared value and printed after the sequence numbers at the top of the report.

Cash reportIf you select Short Cash Rprt a summary machine report is printed that does not list the payment types.

The report will include tax totals.

Note: Only non zero tax totals are printed.

12.2 Configuring reports 193


Tax totals are part of the grand totals command and therefore can only be cleared when the grand totals are run and not when the cash report is run.


The valid tax totals period is printed with the tax summary which can be different from the period of the cash report.

13.1 Setting up the audit function

Filtering the informationYou can set up the audit function to:

• include label or receipt totals or both

or

• include stock or account totals or both.

• be able to continue trading when the audit store is full (circular).

• to have to clear audit transactions before trading can continue when the audit store is full (linear).

Server/client buffer modeNote: Client buffer mode only takes effect in local mode.

If you select Circular you will be able to continue trading when the audit store is full but new audit transactions will over write the oldest audit transactions. You will not see any warning messages.

If you select Linear you will see flashing warning messages Audit 75% Full and Audit 90% Full as the number of transactions in the audit store approach the maximum permitted. The message replaces the scroll message on the vendor display in sales mode and is also displayed if you go to the network map in manager mode.

Note: Normally the server buffer mode is set to circular and the clients are set to linear.

• An error message is displayed at three stages:

• Audit 75% Full when the audit store is 75% full.

• Audit 90% Full when the audit store is 90% full.

• Audit Full when there is no space left in the audit store.

To continue trading you must either Erase Audit List or print the Audit Report and then Erase Audit List to clear the audit store of transactions.

Label overrideLabel override allows you to continue trading when the client audit buffer mode is linear and the buffer is full.

This is the default mode for machines operating in label mode. The Audit Full message will be displayed on every transaction until the audit buffer has been cleared.

Press to clear the message and complete the transaction.

13.1 Setting up the audit function 207

IM series User Instructions Audit Mode

You can disable label override if you do not wish to continue trading when the audit buffer is full.


When label override is disabled, to print labels you must:

• assign the print key to a different operator at each machine

or

• set up and use operator assigned keys.


208 13.2 Printing the audit report

13.2 Printing the audit reportThe audit report prints transactions that have been totalised and printed on the label or receipt. You will be prompted to enter

• the start and end dates or times

• receipt numbers for the report.

You can customise the reports to include only the type of transaction you require or all transactions. You can select from

• label

• receipt

• label and receipt

• or all transactions

If you select Summary Report the report prints a summary of each receipt or label. A Detailed Report prints all the transaction details for each label, receipt or account.

Communications failureIf there is a communications failure between the server and client machines a machine may retain audit transactions while operating in local mode.

As soon as the server detects and reinstates the client machine, the client audit transactions are transferred to the server.

If the client buffer is set to linear mode, no warnings will be given when the buffer is nearly full. No further transactions will be allowed when the buffer is full.


Communications

This section describes to set up a network within the store.

You can link up to 10 compatible machines in a store network.

The system will support any combination of machines in the IM series range provided they have the same software version.

212 14.1 Setting up a network

14.1 Setting up a networkNetworked machines are connected using ethernet network cables. These cables enable information to be passed between each connected machine (and other devices if used).

One machine on the network is called the server and is responsible for overseeing the network. The remaining machines are known as client machines. Any machine may be programmed as the server.

All the machines on the network use the same PLU and system data. You can enter data at any machine and the other machines on the network will receive the information provided they are switched on.


The server must be switched on when the client machines are in operation. If a client machine has been connected to the network but not had the machine ID set up it will not be recognized by the server.

Network compatibility

You can use MX100 back office software to link an IM series machine network to another existing IM series

14.2 Operating modeThe store network can consist of a mixture of label and receipt machines.

Vendors may be logged on to more than one machine and ‘float’ between machines to serve customers anywhere in the store.

Receipt printing machines will

• totalise transactions

• print a counter receipt

• print a sales receipt where the vendor receives payment for the goods.

Counter receipts are redeemed at a Point of Sale (PoS) machine or checkout for payment.

Label machines will

• print labels

• consolidate the transactions at the checkout or PoS machine.

Other PoS machines within the store will complete transactions and generate sales receipts for any purchases at those machines.

For example, cigarettes purchased at the tobacco kiosk.

14.3 Auto configureYou can use auto configure to quickly set up a network of machines that are programmed with the factory default IP address and have been connected to an ethernet hub.

Adding a machine to the networkYou can add machines to the network up to the maximum allowed (10). When you select Auto Configure at the new machine it will automatically be allocated the next machine ID.

Updating the PLU fileYou can perform a Network Dump from the server if the PLU file at the new client machine does not match the server PLU file (see section 14.9, page 222).

Each time the client machine uses a PLU it fetches the PLU data from the server and the PLU file at the client machine is updated.

If you choose not to perform a network dump, the PLU file at the client will gradually be updated to match the server.

L The machine is set to Local Mode.

B Backup server

14.6 Backup server 217


14.6 Backup serverYou can change the status of any client machine to server see section 14.4, page 215. If a server already exists on the network the new server becomes the backup server. If there is more than one machine already set to server on the system, the new server becomes the backup server and the old backup server reverts to client status.

If the main server goes off-line for any reason the backup server takes over without any loss of operation.


You should not continue to trade for an extended period unless both the main server and backup server are switched on.

Should both servers go off-line you can choose to operate the client machines in Local Mode see section 14.8, page 220.

If audible warning is configured for the machine you will hear a bleep and the network map will show 0 at the position for the old server.

If there is a cable fault, both the main and backup server will bleep and each machine will show the other and the client machines as off-line.

Before setting a machine to server status you should:

• clear all transactions

• clear all totals

• Clear the audit list completely.

14.8 Local modeIf you see the message No Server followed by Local Mode ? when you try to:

• select a PLU

• assign transactions

• print a label

it means that the client cannot operate on the network because there is a communication failure between that client and the server.

Switching a client to Local ModeYou can set the machine to operate independently of the network when it cannot communicate with the server.

When you switch the client to Local Mode any transactions that have been entered but not printed will be lost. You must re-enter any uncompleted transactions.

• Press to switch the client to Local Mode.

If you do not want the client to operate in Local Mode

• press any other key just to clear the message.

Label machines only

• Press to select the PLU and print one label.

The message is repeated next time you select a PLU.

There will be no totals for that label.

Note: If the server is faulty you will see the message No Server at whichever client machine you are using.

If you see the message Local Mode at the end of the start up routine when you switch on a machine then that machine is operating in Local Mode.

If you see the message Local Machine(s) at the end of the start up routine when you switch on the server, there is at least one client operating in Local Mode. Go to the Network Dump to check which machine it is.

Operating in local modeIf you use a client machine in Local Mode you will not be able to store totals as these are collected and stored by the server.

Audit bufferThe audit buffer can operate in linear or circular mode.

14.8 Local mode 221


Linear modeIn linear mode you cannot continue trading when the audit buffer is full (see 13.1, Setting up the audit function, page 206). You will see flashing warning messages Audit 75% Full and Audit 90% Full as the number of transactions in the audit store approach the maximum permitted.

Circular modeIn circular mode new audit transactions over write the oldest transactions.

Default settingThe default buffer setting for client machines is linear and the transaction memory limit is set at 20 receipts with up to eight transactions per receipt (160 transactions).

You can change the client buffer mode from linear to circular if required.

If you wish to reset the audit buffer size, contact Avery Berkel.


Before making any changes you should read Audit Mode page 206.

Reinstating a local clientWhen the problem with the network has been resolved the client machine operating in local mode is automatically restored to the network a follows

1. Connect the machine to the network (if it has been disconnected).

2. The server detects the client in local mode and switches the client on-line.

The server will then:

• transfer any outstanding live transactions from the client.

• transfer completed transactions to the server as a background task.

• update totals.


222 14.9 Network dump

14.9 Network dumpNetwork dump synchronises all data held at client machines with that of the server.

When dumping data to client machines, the server copies the PLU file and all data apart from the positions of programmed keys and assignments.

You will need to dump data to client machines if you:

• programme the data at a server which is not connected to the network

• link a new or replacement machine onto the network.

You will not need to dump the data if you:

• programme the data at a server which is connected to the network and all the machines are switched on

• make amendments to the PLU data at any machine provided that all the machines are switched on.

14.11 Advanced set-up

Machine IP addressEach machine in a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to identify the source and destination of data packets.

The machines are manufactured with unique IP addresses which only need to be changed if the IM series network is to be integrated with an existing Ethernet network.

The IP address of the machine consists of two parts.

• The network address

• The network address must be the same as all the other machines on the same network.

• The machine address.

The machine address must be different from the other machines on the same network

The network address depends on which sub-net mask is used, for example for an IP address of 88.1.1.7:

Sub-net mask 255.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0

Network address 88.0.0.0 88.1.0.0 88.1.1.0

Machine address 88.1.1.7 88.1.1.7 88.1.1.7

Sub-net maskThe sub-net mask allows you to split a large physical network into smaller logical networks.


If a machine is being added to an existing network and you need to change the IP address and sub-net mask, the network address and the subnet mask must match the existing network. For further information contact Avery Berkel.

Host nameThis only applies to machines on networks with DHCP enabled. The host name enables the machine to be identified even if the IP address has changed. The name can have up to 100 characters in either a fixed or variable string. You can include the following codes in the string:

%%NTID or %%+8.2%%network ID (2two digits)

%%MCID or %%+8.1%%machine ID (2two digits)

The default host name text is:

Avery.Berkel.GM.NetId.%%NTID.McId%%MCID

14.11 Advanced set-up 225


Gateway IP addressWhere IM series machines are linked to a PC through a gateway, the IM series machine needs to know the gateway address in order to communicate with it.

Network IDThe machines are manufactured with a default network ID. You will only need to change it if more than one IM series network is required.

Up to 10 machines can be connected together into a single machine network. All the machines in a single network must have the same network ID.

Up to 99 machine networks can be created but each group of machines must have a network ID number that is different from any other group.

Base port numberThe base port number is used with the network ID to generate a TCP/IP port number for inter scale communications.

This port number is used by the scales in the network to communicate across the network. If this port number is used by other equipment you may need to change the base port number.

Host port numberThis is the TCP/IP port number used to communicate with a PC running MX100 software. The IM series machine needs to know the port number for MX100 in order to be able to communicate with the PC. The default value for the port number will not usually need to be changed.

Ping IP testThis function tests connections between the scale and other IP addresses.

Data cloneYou can use data clone to copy machine specific data, as well as system data, from the server to a new or replacement machine on a network. The new machine must use the same network ID.

Cloning transfers:

• system data

• service configuration (not capacity)

• machine setup

• dedicated keys

USB backupWhen setting up several stand-alone machines with the same PLUs and system information, usi.ng a memory stick saves you having to enter the data at each machine. You can store backup files which can be loaded to a machine should you ever experience problems.

Networked scalesIf you have a scale network that includes a host PC, you can back up and restore scale data using MX050 Scale Support Tool. Contact Avery Berkel for more information.

DumpingThe USB or data backup software tool receives data from the machine and stores a copy in its own memory until you wish to use it. The original data is retained by the machine.

Loading The USB or data backup software tool sends data to the machine. The data held by the machine is replaced or over written but is still retained by the USB or software tool.

System dataSystem data is comprised of the functions that need to be the same on all the machines in a store. Where machines are part of a network the system information will be common to all the machines.

242 17.3 Substitution codes

17.3 Substitution codesThere are two types of substitution code supported by the software:

• the Avery Berkel code system

This is a fixed system using the start code %% followed by a character representing the associated data.

• a Dewey Decimal based system

The Dewey Decimal based system divides information into classes, divisions and subdivisions to the number of levels needed to give the required amount of detail. The number of levels supported by the software is four.

For each class, division etc. you can include a parameter to specify a particular reference. In the table of codes, a parameter is indicated by the characters #pp where pp is a numerical value.

Each code string requires the start characters %%+ and closing characters %%. The closing characters are entered automatically when you finish selecting the class and divisions you require.

Example: To include the name of nutrient 21 from the nutrients list.

In text entry mode, as soon as you type in the start characters ‘%%+’, the system will prompt you

to select the class. Use and to move between the options. Press Enter to confirm

the selection. When you have selected the class the system will prompt for a division within that class and subsequently for the section.

Press Enter to confirm each selection. To enter a parameter, just type in the value and the

system will insert the ‘#’. When all the codes and parameters have been entered the system will automatically add the closing ‘%%’ characters.
